Once the towel business was well established, he handed it over to Tariq and only visited the factory for few hours. Most of his time was devoted to fourteen different Associations of Defense Housing Authority (DHA) in Karachi as Chairman.

He was a permanent Member of Saudi Aramco Ex-Employees Association (SAEEA) and a very strong pillar of the association. SAEEA Office Bearers were always receiving suggestions from him for the betterment of the association. We all missed him a lot.

On March 04, 2017, his last day, he visited both the towel manufacturing units from 10:00 AM till 4:00 PM and then went to the Defense Housing Authority and talked to all his colleagues until 6:00 PM when he came home where he left us all at 11:00 PM. He did not have any health problems. He was fit person, like a forty year old man. We all wish that ALMIGHTY grant him a good place in paradise and give strength to all his near and dear ones to bear this great loss, Ameen.
